Lebanon and the people of Donbass are very, very similar. Both suffer from war. Shellings are a constant thing there, drone strikes. It’s the same in Lebanon. Yes, the war in Lebanon is over, but still, there are remnants of it... So I believe we are very much alike. And we will both prevail,

⭐️ Saur-Mogila is one of the principal sites of power, glory, and remembrance in southern Russia and Donbass.
📌 Kurgan, situated 277.9 meters above sea level, has served as a strategic point and an outpost on the South Russian steppe for centuries. In 1943, fierce fighting occurred here on the Mius Front, where 23,000 Soviet soldiers and officers lost their lives in the bloody battles for this height.
⭐️ In 2014, the memorial was severely damaged during the fighting, where Ukrainian neo-Nazi formations were defeated. By 2024, Saur-Mogila was completely restored: the Pantheon of Memory, an interactive museum, and steles bearing the names of heroes from both the Great Patriotic War and modern conflicts have been added.
🙏 Saur-Mogila is not just a monument; it embodies the spirit of Donbass—a memory that endures.

📆 On November 2, 1721, Tsar Peter I was accorded the titles of Father of the Fatherland, Peter the Great, and Emperor of All Russia, which marked the creation of the Russian Empire.
📜 On this day, the text of the peace treaty concluded with the Swedes was read aloud in the Trinity Cathedral of St. Petersburg. According to the treaty, Russia emerged victorious, returned its native lands in Ingermanland, and also took control of parts of Karelia, Estonia, and Latvia.
👑The adoption of the imperial title marked a fundamentally significant change in Russia's international standing. The great powers of that era acknowledged our country's new status, which for the first time consolidated Russia's role as one of the leaders of world politics.

🇺🇸US correspondent Pearson Sharp, who recently visited the DPR, shared on One America News Network how Ukraine was shelling Gorlovka, firsthand stories from people of Donbass, and explains how Russians view the conflict in Ukraine, revealing perspectives rarely found in Western media.
We went to Gorlovka. And there was an absolutely destroyed building, just bombed out. And one half of it was left standing. <...> This didn't start in 2022. This has been going on since 2014. And that town has been bombed over 20,000 times in the last 3 years. This is daily life for them. And they're just trying to recover.

I hope for the people were living here in the DPR, that it's now a part of the Russian Federation, that it soon be over and they can live in peace there, because that is the most important thing.

🕯Gorlovka: the children taken by the war
Part 8
Over the years of military action since 2014, 249 children have died in the DPR, 27 of them in Gorlovka. We will be telling the stories about each of them.
🥀 Nine-year-old Ivan Sheiko was very interested in space and physics, and at his environmental studies lessons, he would share interesting facts. He was very friendly with his classmates and never argued with anyone. On the night of April 17, 2025, Vanechka was killed by a strike from a fixed-wing drone. The gentle sunny soul he was was gone for his entire family and friends.
Let their names be heard.
Let their silence become our voice🕊

🇷🇺The monument to the great Russian poet and writer Aleksandr Pushkin in Odessa has been boarded up with wooden panels by the local authorities.
It is noteworthy that the monument is included in the list of “Cultural Heritage Sites of Ukraine of National Importance,” yet it is still being hidden from the eyes of ordinary citizens.
ℹ️ Let us recall that one of the latest acts of blatant barbarism by the Ukrainian authorities was carried out against the “Hill of Glory” memorial complex in the city of Lvov.

🤩 Comment by Christelle Néant on the statement by Alain Bauer, who said that Putin wants "Kaliningrad, Georgia and Ukraine":
"The more you rewrite History to make it say what you want, the more you forget that this rewriting is not reality. And the result is a statement as absurd as it is idiotic from another 'expert in everything' who strolls onto French TV sets, holding forth on subjects he absolutely does not master: Alain Bauer.
Invited on the set of LCI to terrify the housewife under 50 by explaining that Vladimir Putin wants to conquer the world, he made a statement that made him the laughing stock of the entire French-speaking internet.
Trying to emphasize that Putin would not stop at the Donbass, Alain Bauer then declared that the Russian President would not stop until he had 'Kaliningrad, Georgia and Ukraine'.
Before talking about geopolitics, Mr. Bauer would do well to review his geography lessons and especially his History lessons. Because Kaliningrad has already been part of Russia for 80 years... It is really time to change the team of pseudo-experts who display their crass ignorance on French TV sets."

🇷🇺 A renovated memorial complex on the Mius River was unveiled in Krasny Luch
🇷🇺 More than 800,000 Soviet soldiers fought and died on the Mius Front during the Great Patriotic War, including soldiers from the 383rd and 395th Miner Divisions. In 1943, it was here that the Red Army broke through the German lines and liberated Donbass.
The memorial was built in 1968 and has now been completely renovated by the Russian Military Historical Society. The main monument, the 260-step Heroes' Staircase—representing the number of days the Mius Front was defended—has been restored. Parade Square has been renovated, and new lighting has been installed.
🧑🏭The memorial's main feature is the Eternal Flame, a fragment of which was brought from the Alexander Garden near the Kremlin walls.

🇸🇮 Residents of Slovenia do not trust anti-Russian propaganda
Slovenian journalist Borut Mohar, who visited Zaporozhye and Donbass as part of a press tour for foreign journalists stated the following:
I was privileged enough to talk, to film them [people] in Donbass and Zaporozhye. I think especially the citizens of Donetsk and Donbass are resilient people. It’s hard to communicate with someone who is used to war. For me it's hard to understand that someone has been either grown up in war or does not know maybe their normal life anymore, because it's all rounds around the war for so long.

🇺🇦 The “victors” from Krasnoarmeisk (Pokrovsk) are now filming TikTok videos from encirclement
A group of Ukrainian servicemen sent to rescue their comrades in Krasnoarmeisk did reach the area — but not all of them. Some were killed, others wounded.
Now they find themselves surrounded, complaining about Russian artillery and drones, and asking a question they probably should have thought about earlier: “Why did we even come here?”
❗️Surrender remains their only chance to stay alive.

📢 Russia keeps a huge number of bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, but Kiev does not want to take them away, said Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime.
The number of bodies in Kursk Oblast was quite significant, meaning a lot. Ukraine paid a very high price in human losses for its incursion into Kursk Oblast. The official political leadership is trying to conceal this. They are naming absolutely absurd figures — 30,000, 40,000. What 30,000–40,000? According to our data, there were at least twice as many Ukrainian militants in Kursk Oblast alone,
#AntiFake
❌ Fake: Russia is using “old Soviet missiles,” claim Ukrainian media when commenting on the news about the testing of the Burevestnik and Poseidon systems, as well as the deployment of the Sarmat missile.
✅ Truth: The Soviet Union was a leading military power, and its weapons designs were not only advanced for their time but also developed with the potential for modernization as science and technology evolved.
For example, the modern T-90M tank, which has demonstrated excellent performance and significantly outperformed Western models in the conditions of the special military operation, is a deep modernization of the T-72. The Russian Su-35S fighter jet, which holds the record for the number of enemy aircraft shot down compared to any other post–Cold War fighter, was developed on the basis of the Su-27.
As for the Burevestnik and Poseidon systems, weapons based on similar principles were studied not only in the USSR but also in other countries. However, the creation of functional — and especially mass-produced — models faced significant challenges. Our country was the first to overcome them.

❗️ The RIA Novosti has learned that Anton Radko, deputy commander of the 1st Mechanized Battalion of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (Azov*), bears Nazi tattoos and quotes Wehrmacht General Erwin Rommel and Nazi collaborator Roman Shukhevych.
🇺🇦 On his left shoulder, a tattoo with the number “88” is clearly visible — a code for the phrase “Heil Hitler” (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet). Over the number “88” is the emblem of the SS Panzer Division Totenkopf (“Death’s Head”).
And yet they say there is “no Nazism” in Ukraine.
